To expand, there was an armed carjacking in Cambridge by two men. The carjacking victim escaped after a half hour. Lojack on the car led officers to Watertown. When officers found the car, reports of shots fired, explosions / grenades and a running gun battle. Update: one suspect reportedly in custody en route to hospital. Sounds like second suspect has been taken into custody as well. Later update: NOT clear that second suspect is in custody. Edit: Rough location of the armed confrontation where the suspect(s) were taken into custody and the second officer was reported down. https://maps.google.com/maps?q=spruce+st,+Cambridge,+MA&hl=en&ll=42.36766,-71.170979&spn=0.009687,0.01899&sll=42.369975,-71.171644&sspn=0.009686,0.01899&t=h&gl=us&hnear=Spruce+St,+Watertown,+Middlesex,+Massachusetts+02472&z=16 https://maps.google.com/maps?q=spruce+st,+Cambridge,+MA&...

Thanks for adding more details. It's hard to keep the updates going. Update (1:41am est): Does not seem like second suspect is currently in custody...

  Sounds like most of the Watertown stuff moved to a different channel to free up regular traffic. Do you know how to stream that?

    It's still working on the same link... http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/6254/web http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/6254/web Some people are having trouble getting it to load. 50k listeners - that may be higher than when I was listening after the bombing - try a couple different windows and refreshing. Once connected it's very clear audio (I've been listening flawlessly for over 30 minutes). Not sure about other mirrors but they must exist.

      The stream is working for me, it's just that a lot of the radio traffic about Watertown has moved to "channel 1"
